“I won’t even dare to say what will happen if the top club in the KHL is put against the top club in the NHL” – Salavat defender Murphy

Salavat Yulaev Ufa defender Ryan Murphy compared the level of players in the NHL and KHL.

“The average Canadian knows nothing about the KHL. We were bullied as kids that the NHL was the only option. But there are so many leagues in the world where you can play and earn a living, and the KHL is the best after the NHL. I won’t even dare to say what will happen if the top club in the KHL is put against the top club in the NHL.

But few people realize all the delights of playing in the KHL. I convince many of my friends to come here, where they could play at a higher level and achieve success. What they’re saying? They don’t let go of the NHL dream. But this is not an easy decision, your family is there, if you have children, you want them to be able to see how you play. It’s hard, I’m flying to my wife for a day now. I would like one day my child to stand at the side and knock on the glass for me at the rolling. But I hope that someone will still understand that in life there is a place not only for hockey in North America, – Murphy quotes “Championship”.

On account of the 29-year-old hockey player 74 games in the KHL, in which he scored 32 (10+22) points.
